Caruso lands Killer

D.J. Caruso is getting ready to for some giant slaying! The director has signed on to helm “Jack the Giant Killer,” a drama that takes an adult look at the Jack and the Beanstalk legend.

Darren Lemke wrote the script; Mark Bomback did a rewrite. Neal Moritz and David Dobkin are producing.

Caruso last directed “Eagle Eye.” It was his second straight collaboration with Shia LaBeouf, who toplined the Caruso-directed “Disturbia.”
